Unless they also got badly hit but nobody know how the data is managed and backed but, usually they should have an on-site backup and an off-site one (insurance and stuff tend to request those nowadays) so you can look at maybe a 24h rollback while the equipment 'usually' can be hotswapped if its out of commission and available.
Ouch >.< here's me hoping it's worse than it looks, wish them luck in getting it sorted.. 'til then I might create another character on a different data center during the downtime. And thanks for the info Hacchan
